A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a handmade restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a specific tooth. It is designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of your other teeth, providing strength, protection, and an attractive appearance. We use them to protect structurally compromised teeth, when smaller restorations like fillings are no longer appropriate.
Dental crowns are typically crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or high-noble alloys, ensuring long-lasting results.
Dental crowns are recommended for various dental issues, including:
While dental fillings are suitable for smaller areas of tooth decay, dental crowns are recommended for more extensive damage when the overall tooth structure and longevity of the tooth are compromised. Unlike fillings, which are placed inside the tooth, crowns cover the entire tooth structure, providing increased protection and weight distribution. Dental crowns are also a preferred option for cosmetic improvements or when a tooth requires additional structural support beyond that of veneer treatment.
At Upshaw Dental Studio, Dr. Maria Upshaw will carefully evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. During your consultation, she will explain the crown placement process, answer any questions you may have, and address any concerns. Digital imaging and impressions may be taken to ensure the crown is customized to fit your unique smile.
Upshaw Dental Studio offers in-house sedation dentistry upon request. Choose between nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) or oral conscious sedation for a relaxed and comfortable dental visit.
